This weekly roundup thread is intended for all culture war posts. 'Culture war' is vaguely defined, but it basically means controversial issues that fall along set tribal lines. Arguments over culture war issues generate a lot of heat and little light, and few deeply entrenched people ever change their minds. This thread is for voicing opinions and analyzing the state of the discussion while trying to optimize for light over heat.
Optimistically, we think that engaging with people you disagree with is worth your time, and so is being nice! Pessimistically, there are many dynamics that can lead discussions on Culture War topics to become unproductive. There's a human tendency to divide along tribal lines, praising your ingroup and vilifying your outgroup - and if you think you find it easy to criticize your ingroup, then it may be that your outgroup is not who you think it is. Extremists with opposing positions can feed off each other, highlighting each other's worst points to justify their own angry rhetoric, which becomes in turn a new example of bad behavior for the other side to highlight.
We would like to avoid these negative dynamics. Accordingly, we ask that you do not use this thread for waging the Culture War. Examples of waging the Culture War:
-
Shaming.
-
Attempting to 'build consensus' or enforce ideological conformity.
-
Making sweeping generalizations to vilify a group you dislike.
-
Recruiting for a cause.
-
Posting links that could be summarized as 'Boo outgroup!' Basically, if your content is 'Can you believe what Those People did this week?' then you should either refrain from posting, or do some very patient work to contextualize and/or steel-man the relevant viewpoint.
In general, you should argue to understand, not to win. This thread is not territory to be claimed by one group or another; indeed, the aim is to have many different viewpoints represented here. Thus, we also ask that you follow some guidelines:
-
Speak plainly. Avoid sarcasm and mockery. When disagreeing with someone, state your objections explicitly.
-
Be as precise and charitable as you can. Don't paraphrase unflatteringly.
-
Don't imply that someone said something they did not say, even if you think it follows from what they said.
-
Write like everyone is reading and you want them to be included in the discussion.
On an ad hoc basis, the mods will try to compile a list of the best posts/comments from the previous week, posted in Quality Contribution threads and archived at /r/TheThread. You may nominate a comment for this list by clicking on 'report' at the bottom of the post and typing 'Actually a quality contribution' as the report reason.

Notes -
But this is my point: I don't think there's anything feminist about housing male rapists in women's prisons. I think gender ideology is a profoundly misogynistic worldview, in practice if not necessarily in theory. I likewise don't think there's anything feminist about the Palestinian resistance, and at best they have nothing to do with each other.
And in any case, our company's HR department is made up of two men and one woman, the latter of whom has been on sick leave for well over a month. I don't think this trend can be attributed to feminisation (or if it can, not in a fashion which is synonymous with "feminism").
I attempted to have a gentler and simpler version of the "trans ideology is actually misogynistic" conversation with a woman I know recently. (Results inconclusive - at least she hasn't dropped me as a friend.) As best as I can tell, this is one of those issues where my pro-trans feminist mom friends are genuinely unaware there's a conflict of interest because the problems are simply not reported on by mainstream outlets, and most people aren't inclined to sit down and think through the full implications of, e.g. what happens when you abolish psychiatric gatekeeping and let anyone who says the magic words, "I identify as a woman" have full access to all women's facilities.

If your HR department only has two active employees, unless your company has well under 50 total I doubt that either of them are scouring internet calendars looking for interesting fake holidays. They're probably pulling these from a third party service and distributing them without looking too hard.

Ah, you might think so, and I think so too. But in practice those are both positions split along gender linees, with women being far more likely to support Palestinian resistance, light prison sentences, and putting trans women into women's prisons even if they committed rape. The feminist position isn't "what's good for women," it's simply "what do feminists support," which cn sometimes be very different. One could even argue that it's good for feminist leaders when bad things happen to women, because that strengthens the political support for feminism. But it's not up to you and I to figure it out, all we can do is signal which team we're on, and you're trying to signal the anti-feminist team which they're obviously not going to like.
Yeah and what are the political opininons of those two men in HR? Are either of them even slightly conservative? Probably not.
Besides it's not just about the HR department. It's all of corporate culture, generally, becoming a feminist safe space. Eveny manager with any sort of political savvy will instinctively know this.
For feminists women in prisons aren't a relevant entity because women are wonderful so their being in prison is simultaneously a removal of the halo effect and expulsion from the category of women and thus are irrelevant to Womxn. Trannies on the other hand are a relevant entity outside of the prison for Womxn, so catering maximally to them is automatically a high payoff if you have rejected criminal women from the Womxn coalition. Pity about the second order effect of other women self selecting out of the Womxn but thats just false consciousness and internalized misogyny.
